Dark and unreadable, they had an air about them that spoke of a man
with little joy in his life. Emily shuddered. It mattered little to her that
this was the man that had “saved” her last night; it was time for him to leave.

“Mr.
Dalton.”

“Ms.
Bunsbury.”

They
spoke at the same time, both of them stopping short at their impasse. Emily
pressed her lips together but William Dalton broke into rich, cheerful gales of
laughter. Unexpected warmth rushed over her, making butterflies in her stomach
dance to a minuet. Her frown grew deeper.

Whether you're an author or not, you've heard it before: All authors drink.

But what do they drink?

Blue Zen. That name says it all. Relax before the holiday season begins with the lovely Remmy Duchene and her favorite drink, Blue Zen.

Remmy Duchene & Blue Zen

Hi everyone!

I am Remmy Duchene writer of
sexy, interracial, manlove. I was born in Jamaica but now I live in the north,
Canada. I am here to talk to you about my favorite drink. Yes, it is alcoholic
because I work a day job, write and go to school while still making time for
family, friends and things that I love doing outside these things. So once in a
while, I need a drink. I’m not much of a drinker. I’ll have a beer now and then
because I am just that kind of girl. I don’t drink when I write because then I
will not be responsible for what my characters make me do.

When I go out for girl’s night or
that kind of thing I love having a Blue Zen.

1 oz Bacardi Limon

½ oz Curacao, blue

1 oz. Rum, Coconut (Malibu)

3 oz. Pineapple Juice

About Remmy:Multi-published
Remmy Duchene was born in St. Anns, Jamaica and moved to Canada at a
young age. When not working or writing, Remmy loves dabbling in
photography, travelling and spending time with friends and family.

Shipped
off to boarding school at a young age, Bradley Ellesbury Jr. was given
everything he’s ever wanted. Now the one thing he needs is the one thing he
can’t have.

Bradley Ellesbury Senior is
dead and has left a will his son Bradley Jr. knows was done to
torture him. Still, he leaves his party lifestyle in Paris, rushes back to
the small town of Foster Creek to do precisely what his father
forbade--sell the ranch and move somewhere warm. He is even more determined to
go against his father's wishes after he meets the infuriating cowboy
his father hired to run the place. When Bradley finds out if he gets rid
of the cowboy he loses everything, he now has to decide to risk losing it all,
or give in to the rabid, sexual urges he was feeling for the cowboy slash
Veterinarian slash pain in the ass.

To
make matters worse, Bradley's trip home forces him back into the closet for he
had no idea how the small town would take his homosexuality. That is
until hisfeelings for Jace
Cornielle switches gears from raw hatred to something that makes him want to be
a better man

Greetings dears! To end the month of November and celebrate Thanksgiving (2 in 1 *grin*) I bring you the lovey Julie Lynn Hayes and her novel, Dirty Little Lies.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American Readers!!

Changing Traditions and Dirty Little Lies

In this modern world, the family holiday ain’t what it used
to be!

Rising divorce rates, re-marriages, and blended families
have changed the dynamics of how we celebrate the holidays. It’s no longer a
simple trip to Grandma’s house, or a one stop family function. Now families
often divide their time, and that of their children, between two or more
celebrations, which requires juggling time and resources.

Sometimes the solution to doing everything is to do it
yourself, and let the guests come to you, but that isn’t an option for
everyone. Or you can hold a second holiday, after the fact, for those people
who couldn’t make the first. So if you go to visit with Cousin Peter’s family
on the day of the holiday, perhaps you can host Aunt Ethel and her clan on a
separate day. Share the fun and the cooking!

As children leave the next and scatter, holidays can present
their own special challenges, and it isn’t always possible to share the day in
person. But a phone call is an easy alternative, and the next best thing to
being there. My kids are mostly scattered around the country – Hawaii,
Washington, Indiana, and Illinois, with one at home. This year, we’re heading
up to Indiana, but we’re going to make our own turkey dinner when we get back.
That’s the only way to get leftovers, right?

So, holidays are what you make of them, and there is no one
size fits all plan. Do what Is right and comfortable for you.

In Dirty Little Lies,
Levi Thornton has decided to out himself on his father’s live Christmas
telecast, his father being televangelist Marshall Thornton. Like inviting
America home for the holidays! And making Dad squirm at the same time lol

Thanks for having me on your blog, Elyzabeth!

Levi Thornton is the closeted gay son of homophobic
televangelist Marshall Thornton. So what’s the perfect gift for the father who
never cared? Levi’s going to find a yummy young man on Christmas Eve, fuck him
all night long and six ways to Sunday. And then he’s going to out himself on
live national TV on Christmas Day in front of his father and God and everyone
else.

The problem is he’s having no luck at finding that special
someone to share this moment with. Just when he thinks his quest is hopeless,
in breezes Darjeeling Crane, and it’s off to the family hideaway for a night of
fun. This will be a Christmas to remember, if Levi has anything to say about
it.

Levi rose,
loosened his red houndstooth tie, plastered a beatific smile on his handsome
face, and strode purposefully toward the blond, never taking his eyes from him.
He dropped onto the empty stool beside him, swinging it to face him, their
knees touching.

“Merry
Christmas,” the blond greeted him.

“It will
be,” Levi replied. “It certainly will be.” At that moment the counter girl laid
down a menu, a glass of water, and tableware. “Take your time, honey,” she
said, walking away before he could comment.

The stranger
flipped the menu open. “Anything you recommend?”

Levi blindly
jabbed a finger at the open page. “Yeah. Me,” he brazenly replied. “I can give
you something a whole lot better than anything you’ll find here. And then I’ll
feed you, too.”

“That’s
quite an offer, Mr…?” He looked at Levi, the question hanging from his pretty
lips.

“You can
call me Levi. What should I call you, pretty thing?”

“I like
that, but you can call me Darjeeling.”

Auburn
eyebrows arched in disbelief. “Like the tea?”

“Exactly.”

Levi leaned
in, his lips brushing against the other man’s ear, his breath warm against his
flesh. “I have a place where you and I can go, if you’re interested. Someplace
a whole lot better than this ptomaine palace. And a hell of a lot more private.
What do you say?” He ran his tongue along the outer shell of Darjeeling’s ear,
felt his shiver.

“What do I
say?” He laid his hand on Levi’s arm, turned his head just enough that their
lips were mere micro-centimeters apart. “I say how soon can we leave?”

Julie Lynn Hayes first began publishing short
stories and poetry in the 1990’s, when it was a different ballgame altogether,
and Ebooks hadn’t been dreamed of yet. That changed in 2010 with the acceptance
of her first romance novel. She’s come a long way since that first book
appeared, and is finding the journey a very educational one.

She lives in St. Louis with her daughter
Sarah and her cat Ramesses. She often writes of two men finding true love and
happiness in one another’s arms, and is a great believer in the happily ever
after. She likes to write in different genres, to stretch herself in order to
see what is possible. Her great challenge is to be told something can’t be
done; she feels compelled to do it.

When she isn’t writing, she enjoys crafts,
such as crocheting and cross stich,needlepoint and knitting, and she loves to cook, spending time watching
the Food Network. Her favorite chef is Geoffrey Zakarian. Her family thinks
she’s a bit off, but she doesn’t mind. Marching to the beat of one’s own
drummer is a good thing, after all. Her published works can be found at
Dreamspinner Press, eXtasy Books, Amber Quill Press, Torquere Press and Wayward
ink.
